From early next year, several Chevrolet models will enable their owners to connect their iPhone into the in-car audio system, via the power of Bluetooth. A touch of a button on the steering wheel will allow them to interact directly with Siri.

Users will be able to instruct Siri to perform tasks such as placing calls, sending messages, and setting reminders, without having to park up.

Safety is paramount, so “Eyes Free” mode on the iPhone will minimise the distraction of a flashing iPhone screen by preventing it from lighting up. Not to mention that voice commands allow the driver’s full attention to remain on the road.

With the ability to ask Siri simple questions, your car can solve all your in-car problems. Want to check the weather for the next few hours? Need to remember to renew your insurance? You’ll even be able to take notes on that mysterious clicking sound you only hear when travelling on the motorway.
